So its not even Spring semester already and I've already managed to procrastinate. I got a speeding ticket some time ago when coming back from a rugby game at Longwood. I went to court, yada-yada, and have to take a driving course to get the charge dropped.
Well all this has to be done by the fifth. I was like...okay I have plenty of time! Doh! I forgot about the holiday and holiday shipping and all that nonsense. So I have to finish my online driving course tonight so I can take the test tomorrow and get the certificate overnighted to my apt....so it can get here by Friday...For me to take it to the clerks office on Monday.
Yay for paying oodles to get something overnighted, only to receive it two days later. X_X
Well atleast the info is somewhat interesting and the videos are amusing. If you ever need to take a driving course and are allowed to do one online, go to "I Drive Safely"...Its one of the cheapest ones and doesn't require you to sit 8 hours straight, you can log in at your own leisure. Just give yourself enough time to receive the certificate.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimates that there are 100,000 police-reported crashes resulting in 1,550 deaths and 71,000 injuries annually as the result of drowsy driving. 62% of drivers drive when they are tired. 50% of fatal crashes involve single vehicle collisions where the vehicle travels off the road, rolls over or collides with a fixed object. 40% of adults are so tired that it interferes with their daily activities. Studies have shown that sleep impaired drivers' reaction times and performance skills are as poor as alcohol-impaired drivers'.
